About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Ms. Allen is great
She is very reassuring while not being condescending. Look forward to our conversations.
She's great, she listens and gives you the right tools to fix the problem/sz.
She's a great listener and tries to tackle everything that's bothering me. She's wonderful.
Antoinette has been very helpful and understanding of my situation. She has recommended the best practice for coping, grieving, and overcoming mental health issues in my life.
I enjoy my sessions with Antoinette Allen. I didn't know what to expect beginning therapy, so I went in slow at first and spoke generally. She sent me handouts to read that have helped me a lot. I get to go over them as much as I want and they give both good and bad examples of my actions and I'm able to make better decisions because of it. I look forward to my next session.
She is definitely one of a kind and I couldn’t ask for a better therapist.
Antoinette Allen is a fantastic therapist she encourages my growth and supports me when I need support questions me when im questionable and listens when I need a listener
Antoinette has been professional and considerate during every session. She's a dependable person and she backs up her suggestions with literature for further review. I feel extremely lucky to have matched with her and am confident anyone else would have a similar experience. I've been to therapy several times before but this series has certainly been the most effective. Thank you so much Antoinette
